Death… And Me Chapter 142 - Blacksmith Hall

Chapter 142 - Blacksmith Hall

Roan noticed when the Soul Connection was established again.

'I already reserved the slots in the Cultivation Tower.'

Rean, who was still flying back to the Beast Taming Faction, answered.

'That's good. I just need to return the Demon Beast, and I'll be there soon.'

Around thirty minutes later, Rean was already at the Cultivation Tower.

"Did you reserve the room with external gathering formations?"

Roan nodded.

"Yes, we just need to pay now."

Rean and Roan then went to the counter and paid for two rooms close to each other. The external gathering formation is different from the normal ones. It could be charged with external resources like Spirit Stones. Rean got 2000 Rank Two ones back in Majorias City. Don't forget the other 500 they got from the Entrance Exam. Lastly, the 1000 Rean got after enjoying Elder Tiria's boo- cough, cough, after healing Elder Tiria's injuries. In total, they had 3500 Rank Two Spirit Stones! Only the disciples with some background would be able to compare to them.

Rean separated 1500 for himself and another 1500 for Roan. The last 500, he would pa.s.s to Malaka later.

The rooms they rented were two average ones, which cost 20 Sect Points/Hour. That wasn't a problem for Rean and Roan since they had 807 and 500 points, respectively. That being said, they decided to rent it for ten hours. They had the points to rent the best ones, but it would be a waste of Sect Points. That's because they have enough Rank Two Spirit Stones to make up for the difference when using the External Energy Gathering Formation.

After putting several Rank Two Spirit Stones in the formations, they immediately began to work at full speed. The concentration of Spiritual Energy was so high that it was as if Rean and Roan were using Rank Three Spirit Stones instead.

'Are you ready?'

Rean nodded.

'I'm fine here, let's go.'

Without wasting any time, Rean and Roan immediately rushed for the breakthrough. Their energy pools are much bigger than an ordinary Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. That being said, they also needed a lot more Spiritual Energy to make a breakthrough. That's the reason why they haven't entered the Middle Stage yet. Until now, the concentration of Spiritual Energy wasn't high enough.

Their foundations' ten pillars began to absorb Spiritual Energy like torrents. Rean and Roan's hair immediately changed as they exchanged Light and Dark Elements without stop. Their Spiritual Pool began to overflow as well.

To make sure that they wouldn't run out of Spiritual Energy, Rean and Roan put 500 Rank Two Spirit Stones in each formation. Still, they could hear the Spirit Stones cras.h.i.+ng one after another. The sound reminded Rean of popcorn.

Finally, the Spiritual Pool couldn't hold the amount of Spiritual Energy and Light/Dark Elements any more. With an explosion of Spiritual Energy, the Pool increased by three times its original size! Immediately after, an enormous pull of Spiritual Energy began to come from the ten pillars. Rean and Roan's amount of Dark and Light Element exchange also increased. Finally, a few minutes later, the pools were full again.

'Phew... seems like it went without any issues.'

[Of course, it did. What do you think your cultivation manuals are, some s.h.i.+t you can find any store? As long as the conditions are met, you can definitely achieve a perfect breakthrough. It's just that the amount of Spiritual Energy will increase the higher your cultivation becomes.]

Sister Orb seemed very proud of the cultivation technique. Of course, for Rean and Roan, it was a good thing that she was.

'Cough, cough... Anyway, we rented the room for ten hours, so it should be enough to stabilize our foundation. Let's make good use of our time.'

Roan agreed with him.

'Certainly. Also, check the formation. Our breakthrough consumed over 300 Spirit Stones, so we better put some more there as well.'

Just like that, ten hours pa.s.sed. When the twins were finally out, their foundation had already stabilized.

[Alright. You two should stop here. If you continue to absorb too much Spiritual Energy, even your heaven-defying foundations will get affected. Keep cultivating with the Spiritual Energy of the Heaven and Earth from the time being. Your foundations should be back to normal in a week or so; you can start using Spirit Stones again after that.]

Rean and Roan nodded. Rean then turned in Roan's direction before saying.

"I'm going to the Blacksmith Hall to take a look into these High-Level materials. As you know, our Swords are starting to get obsolete. Let me know if you want any special trait for the new ones I'll make later."

Roan nodded, and he left as well. For Rean, his best way of pa.s.sing time was forging. As for Roan, he preferred to practice his Death Style. It was then that Roan thought about the arena.

'There are quite a few disciples who like to practice there without using points. I guess that a good place to start.'

Back on Rean's side, he went straight to the Blacksmith Hall. Before even entering the building, he could already see quite some movement at the entrance. Nothing was happening, though. The Blacksmith Hall was always like this to start with. After all, it took care of most of the disciples' weapons.

After arriving at the counter, the outer sect disciples on duty that day asked Rean.

"What kind of weapon you wish?"

Rean shook his head after hearing that.

"I want to join the Blacksmith Hall. What are the procedures for it?"

The disciple was a little surprised that such a young boy have an interest in blacksmithing. Usually, the young ones would only care about the weapon, and not how they were made. However...

"I appreciate your feelings. However, the blacksmiths here are not playing around. You can ask again when you get older."

Rean's mouth twitched.

"I have never played with blacksmithing. I worked as one in my tribe, and I want to continue to practice it here."

The disciples looked deeply at Rean, who seemed to be very serious about it.

"Sigh... If you insist, then so be it. You have two ways to join our Blacksmith Hall. The first one is for the inexperienced disciples. That includes those who decided to enter this path for the first time. They will start from the basics and learn everything necessary at the start. They will be evaluated according to their talents. After they reach a certain threshold, they will be allowed to join the Hall."

"The second way is for the disciples who already have experience as blacksmiths. Depending on your level, you might join straight away or be sent to the proper practice site. After all, if they already have the experience and couldn't join, there is no need for them to begin from the very start either."

Rean didn't even think twice.

"The second option, please."

The disciples then extended three fingers.

"300 Sect Points."

Rean was shocked by that price.

"Isn't that too expensive?"

The disciple shook his head, though.

"Only elders can give an evaluation of the new disciples. However, they are all busy with their own things. 300 points are just proper to have them come out."

Rean sighed and immediately transferred the points with his Sect Badge.

"Very well, follow me, please."
